Diagram depicting the sulfation of VML by Pipe in a ventral follicle cell. PAPS is transported from its cytoplasmic site of synthesis into the Golgi apparatus by Slalom. Pipe present in the Golgi lumen transfers sulfate from PAPS to VML. Sulfated VML is then secreted and incorporated into the vitelline membrane layer of the eggshell.
